Could not find a Cypress configuration file `cypress.json` on Jenkins

[omelnik]

I decided to put my tests into a docker container, but I started facing an issue.
When I tried to map my current dir to a folder inside my container, I started getting this error: Could not find a Cypress configuration file, exiting. We looked but did not find a cypress.json file in this folder: /usr/src/app

Here's my Dockerfile:

# pull official Cypress image
FROM cypress/included:5.5.0

# set working directory
RUN mkdir /usr/src/app
WORKDIR /usr/src/app

# copy our test application
COPY package.json /usr/src/app/package.json
COPY package-lock.json /usr/src/app/package-lock.json

# install NPM dependencies and Cypress binary
RUN npm ci

# copy all files into the container
COPY . /usr/src/app
COPY cypress.json /usr/src/app/cypress.json

# check if the binary was installed successfully
RUN $(npm bin)/cypress verify

# run tests
CMD ["./node_modules/.bin/cypress", "run"]

Here's my command

docker run -v $PWD:/usr/src/app --ipc=host image:latest --headless --browser chrome

And like usually it works on my local, but doesn't work on Jenkins. I'm not sure what I'm missing. I was using this article as the reference. Just for the record, I tried to pass -w /usr/src/app flag as well.

@omelnik I don't know if this is the case for you but I mapped once the volume wrong.
Instead of "$PWD:/usr/src/app" i should have had "$PWD/e2e:/usr/src/app" as that's where my cypress.json is.

I am having the same issue and changing the directory doesn't solve it

[Windows 10], I get the same issue as follows (cypress.json is present in this dir):

docker run -it -v /c/Users/TAnderson2/source/repos/cypress/integration/1-getting-started:/e2e -w /c/Users/TAnderson2/source/repos/cypress/integration/1-getting-started cypress/included:7.7.0

Could not find a Cypress configuration file, exiting.

We looked but did not find a cypress.json file in this folder: /c/Users/TAnderson2/source/repos/cypress/integration/1-getting-started

did an inspect on the container for the root, and then tried this with a different error:

C:>docker run -it -v //c/Users/TAnderson2/source/repos/cypress/integration:/root/.cache/Cypress/7.7.0/Cypress/Cypress cypress/included:7.7.0
docker: Error response from daemon: OCI runtime create failed: container_linux.go:380: starting container process caused: process_linux.go:545: container init caused: rootfs_linux.go:76: mounting "/run/desktop/mnt/host/c/Users/TAnderson2/source/repos/cypress/integration" to rootfs at "/root/.cache/Cypress/7.7.0/Cypress/Cypress" caused: mount through procfd: not a directory: unknown: Are you trying to mount a directory onto a file (or vice-versa)? Check if the specified host path exists and is the expected type.

This issue has not had any activity in 180 days. Cypress evolves quickly and the reported behavior should be tested on the latest version of Cypress to verify the behavior is still occurring. It will be closed in 14 days if no updates are provided.
